Super Easy Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats

I love making dog treats, and in the summer making frozen treats is a simple way to help keep your dog cool. And these frozen watermelon dog treats are one of my favorites.

If you’ve got some seedless watermelon, a blender and some ice cube trays you’re good to go.

Super Easy Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats

The reason I love this frozen treat isn’t just because they’re so easy (although that definitely helps), it’s because they’re softer than ice cubes. Laika’s never been a fan of regular ice cube type treats, but she goes nuts over these.

These treats turn out like popsicles, rather than being completely frozen and brittle. They definitely have some crunch, but they’re not quite as hard to bite into as ice cubes.

And when it comes using human foods as dog treats watermelon is one of my favorites. It contains lots of vitamins and fiber, and since it’s comprised of 92% water it’s low in calories.

Just remember, as with any treats moderation is key. Although watermelon is low in calories they do add up, and introducing your dog to any new food can cause stomach issues.

Ingredients

One quarter of a seedless watermelon (3 cups worth).

You can use more or less depending on how many treats you want to end up with. One quarter of a watermelon will fill two ice cube trays, making 28 individual treats.

And the reason you want to use seedless watermelon is because the seeds themselves can cause a blockage in your dog’s digestive tract (the rind can also cause diarrhea).

Instructions

Chop up your seedless watermelon into cubes.

Put the watermelon cubes in the blender

Mix the cubes in the blender until they’re the consistency of a smoothie.

Pour the liquid into your ice cube tray.

Freeze for 3 hours.

And that’s it, that’s all there is to it. After they’re done freezing you’re good to go. You’ve got a nice refreshing (and low calorie) treat to help keep you and your dog cool in the summer.

Easy peasy indeed! Thanks for sharing this amazing dog treat recipe. My dog loves watermelon and since summer is just around the corner, this dog treat recipe will be perfect. I always use banana and pumpkin to make treats and watermelon would be interesting. Looking forward to reading more of your posts soon. Cheers!

Just great. One of the easiest dog treats I have come across. I usually freeze treats for my Groodle pup and she loves them. I stuff her treats in her toys and she spends hours licking them and eating them.

Wow! Outside of being a worthy treat for my canine buddy, it sounds nothing short of fun to me.
Also, given how lots of human meals have toxic effects on dogs, watermelon is pretty safe, with is nutritional constituents not harmful for dogs.
